Do Kendoka Wear Belts?
You will see navy or white keikogi and hakama — not a rainbow of belts. Rank is recorded on certificates and membership cards. Sensei may know your grade; partners treat everyone with reiho regardless.
Where to learn the system
Read Grading and the Grading Prep hub for eligibility and exam shape.
Practice takeaway
After reading, write one question for your sensei and one habit to try at the next keiko. Clarity without practice does not stick.
Hong Kong context
Urban venues, humid summers, and multilingual clubs shape local practice. Ask about schedule and language of instruction when you visit.
